Firmino has impressed this season with six goals and seven assists for the modest Bundesliga side and has been included in Dunga’s most recent Brazil senior squad for friendlies against Chile and France.

The 23-year-old has been described in some quarters as a player that could well replace Santi Cazorla in the Arsenal first-team in the long run and it seems likely that Firmino will be on the move this summer.
